Assessments
Grassley introduced and materially advanced the Rural Community Hospital Demonstration Program Reauthorization Act, including securing unanimous Senate passage in May 2026. However, the promise specifically required getting the reauthorization signed into law, and the House companion remained only introduced/referred as of August 24, 2026. Because Grassley remains in office and the Congress was still ongoing, the outcome is not yet a failed promise, but it is not delivered.
